The aggressor country russia will face very steep tariffs and secondary sanctions if a ceasefire is not established in Ukraine within 50 days.
US White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt stated this at a briefing on July 17, the Ukrainian News agency reports.
Leavitt stressed that US President Donald Trump has given 50 days to resolve the situation in Ukraine.
According to her, if the conditions are not met, russia will face punishment.
"In 50 days, as clearly laid out, if there is not a ceasefire agreement or a peace deal within that time frame, if Russia refuses to legitimately agree to a ceasefire, then they will face very steep tariffs, and they will also face secondary sanctions. So, countries that are purchasing oil from Russia will be sanctioned as well, and of course, that will do deep damage to Russia's economy," she said.
The White House believes that such measures will cause serious damage to the russian economy.
As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, on July 14, Trump said he was dissatisfied with the behavior of the aggressor country russia and was ready to impose tough economic measures.
On July 15, Trump said he was disappointed with russian dictator vladimir putin.
